The object of this invention is to dispense with the brackets which are usually secured to the boiler of a locomotive and which support the air pump and power reverse, and to substitute therefor supports for said air pump and power reverse cylinders which are mounted directly on the main frame of the locomotive and independent of the boiler. This object I attain in the following manner, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which:

Fig. 1 is a view in elevation illustrating my improved supports for air pump and power reverse mechanism, and showing the side frames of the locomotive in section, the structure being in the form of an internal castmg;

Fig. 2 is a plan view;

Fig. 3 is a side view;

Fig. 4 is a modification showing a support for the air pump Fig. 5 is a View of a modification showing a support for the power reverse; and

Fig. 6 is a view similar to Fig. 1, showing the welded structure made in acocrdance with my invention. l

l-liare the side frames of the locomotive. The boiler 2 is shown by dotted lines in Fig. 1. 3 is an integral casting having feet 4 which rest upon the side frames 1, and having heels 5 which extend on the inner side of each frame, as shown in Fig. 1. `The structure is rigidly secured to the side frames of the locomotive in any suitable manner. 6

is one type of an air pump which is mounted on the locomotive and 7 indicates onev type of power reverse. These parts may be m-odiiied, however, without departing from the essential features of the invention.

of the device may be secured to the bracket 59 and the cylinder may over hang, depending i ture.

8 is a bracket forming an integral part of upon the typey of power reverse used. Forming part of the'bracket'll isa strut 12, which extends to a point'about midway between the two"frames andis made integral with the cross bar 13. 2

' The feet 4 ofthe-structurefare extended as shown, so as tof-"give a irm=be`aring on the. frame, and the feet'at each Vside of the structure are connected bythe cross'bar 13 and bars 14'. The structure` may'be lightened consider ably as shown inthe drawings withoutmaterially rdecreasing thefstrength fof' 'the lst-ruc- As shown in Fig. 1, this structure is securely oaf fastened to the; main frame of the locomotive andis'indepe'ndent ofthe boiler, and as the air pump and the 'power reversing-cylinder are directly opposite incertain types ofloco-l motives, thestructure may support both the air pump and the power reverse cylinder, but wherethe-ftwo'parts"are not opposite, then the bracket for the air pump maybe made as shown in 4and the bracket for the power reverse may be made as shown in Fig. l

5, but in either case these brackets are carried by the main frame and are not connected to the boiler. y

While two side frames are shown in Fig. 1, which are connected together and which support the structure, the structure may be secured t0 cast steel integral locomotive frames without departing from the essential features of the invention.

lIn Fig. 1 the structure is shown as'being made as an integral casting but the structure may be made of wrought metal shapes, as shown in Fig.r6, without departing from the invention.

10b are the side members, which extend to 90 the feet 4?). The side members form part of the bracket 86,which supports the air pump 6, while the bracket 11b supports the power reverse `7. f
